Abstract

A golf club head cover including a head portion that defines a compartment that receives a golf club head and a sleeve portion that extends from the head portion and defines a sleeve conduit having an open end. The sleeve conduit is in communication with the compartment and the open end is positioned opposite the compartment. The sleeve portion is constructed from a first material and a second material. The second material is more elastic than the first material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A golf club head cover comprising:
a head portion defining a compartment that receives a golf club head; and a sleeve portion extending from the head portion and defining a sleeve conduit having an open end, the sleeve conduit being in communication with the compartment, the open end being positioned opposite the compartment, the sleeve portion being constructed from a first material and a second material, the second material being more elastic than the first material.

2 . The golf club head cover of claim 1 , wherein the compartment is constructed from the first material.

3 . The golf club head cover of claim 1 , wherein the open end is substantially rectangularly-shaped or substantially ovular.

4 . The golf club head cover of claim 1 , wherein the compartment is selectively expandable and the sleeve portion is selectively expandable, the sleeve portion being expandable independently of the compartment.

5 . The golf club head cover of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve portion and the compartment define a passageway that is configured to receive a golf club head therethrough.

6 . The golf club head cover of claim 5 , further comprising a narrowed region that is configured to selectively expand the passageway.

7 . The golf club head cover of claim 1 , further comprising:
a top surface having an arcuately-shaped portion extending between a first side and a second side; a bottom surface having an arcuately-shaped portion extending between a first side and a second side, the arcuately-shaped portion of the bottom surface coupled to the arcuately-shaped portion of the top surface, the top surface and the bottom surface at least partially defining the head portion; a first elastic member extending between the first side of the top surface and the second side of the bottom surface; and a second elastic member extending between the second side of the top surface and the first side of the bottom surface, the first and the second elastic members defining a portion of the sleeve portion.

8 . The golf club head cover of claim 7 , wherein the top surface, the bottom surface, the first elastic member and the second elastic member define the open end.

9 . The golf club head cover of claim 8 , wherein the open end is substantially rectangularly-shaped.

10 . The golf club head cover of claim 1 further comprising a handle coupled to the top surface, the handle formed as a pocket that has an opening that faces in a substantially downwardly-opening direction toward the open end.

11 . A golf club head cover comprising:
a body including a head portion that defines a compartment and a sleeve portion extending from the head portion and defining a sleeve conduit having an open end, the sleeve conduit being in communication with the compartment, the open end being positioned opposite the compartment, the body including:
a top surface including a substantially arcuately-shaped portion extending between a first side and a second side;
a bottom surface including a substantially arcuately-shaped portion extending between a first side and a second side, the arcuately-shaped portion of the bottom surface being coupled to the arcuately-shaped portion of the top surface, the top surface and the bottom surface at least partially defining the head portion; and
an elastic member extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, the elastic member defining at least a portion of the sleeve portion.

12 . The golf club head cover of claim 11 , where the top surface and the bottom surface are constructed from a first material that is less elastic than the elastic member.

13 . The golf club head cover of claim 11 , wherein the top surface, the bottom surface, and the elastic member define the open end.

14 . The golf club head cover of claim 13 , wherein the open end is substantially rectangularly-shaped or substantially ovular.

15 . The golf club head cover of claim 11 , wherein the compartment is selectively expandable and the sleeve portion is selectively expandable, the sleeve portion being expandable independently of the compartment.

16 . The golf club head cover of claim 11 , wherein the sleeve portion and the compartment define a passageway that is configured to allow a golf club head therethrough.

17 . The golf club head cover of claim 16 , further comprising a narrowed region that is configured to selectively expand the passageway.

18 . The golf club head cover of claim 11 further comprising further comprising a handle coupled to the top surface, the handle formed as a pocket that has an opening that faces in a substantially downwardly-opening direction toward the open end.

19 . A golf club head cover comprising:
a body including:
a top surface;
a bottom surface coupled to the top surface, the top surface and the bottom surface defining a compartment;
a first elastic member extending between the top surface and the bottom surface;
a second elastic member extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, the first and the second elastic members defining at least a portion of a sleeve portion, the sleeve portion in communication with the compartment and having an open end at an end opposite the compartment; and
a narrowed region coupled between the first elastic member and the second elastic member, the narrowed region configured to selectively expand the sleeve portion.

20 . The golf club head cover of claim 19 , wherein the compartment is selectively expandable and the sleeve portion is selectively expandable, the sleeve portion being expandable independently of the compartment.
